[REL] Real Fleet Boat 2.0

THANK YOU ALL WHO HAVE HELPED!

I don't know why I didn't realize earlier that it was obviously a RAM issue. As soon as I downloaded the 4 GB patch, the game works PERFECT now! Thank you all so much and see you in the pacific!

this is probably a generic SH4 question but because i am playing RFB i am placing in that thread.

if the Interval between missions is set at 30 days, why would SH4 assign our next mission to begin just four days after we pull into port?

That date in CareerTrack is not reflective of the date you'll actually leave. That seems to only show the date when your next mission is chosen from. You won't really know when you'll leave until you go to do so, and then see it in the orders "Depart on date-whatever". That departure date might be buried somewhere in the Save data, or else the game does the "math" ( ) at run-time when you leave...

Dale Carnegie always maintained that you should never tell anyone that they are wrong. About Anything. Including, I suspect, SH4.

We shoved off on 12/23/41.

Our Mission was to patrol in the immediate vicinity of Manila, so we were on-station later in the day of 12/23/41 and i performed a SaveGame using the date, as i always do. I can send you the SaveFile if you actually want it.

the question still remains: why does SH4 constantly contradict itself? this is another instance of that.

OK - after hitting me over the head with the baseball bat and waking me up, I now understand. But man, my head hurts...

For a "clue" as to why in this case, look at your Flotillas file for Manila, and the date you sailed. I don't think anything changed between v1.4 and v2.0 of RFB in this regard, but:

AvailabilityInterval= NULL, 1941-12-23

So they are withdrawing, and you have to go with them! You won't have a base. The same thing happens later at Surabaya, if you come in on the 24th of Feb, you will sail out on the 28th:

AvailabilityInterval= 1941-12-24, 1942-02-28

I think it was in SH4 v1.3 where you might dock like you did, and then go out 30 days later, but from Surabaya. Apparently, they used "extra" people to move your boat for you in v1.3...

now THAT makes sense.

i did not peruse Flotillas before i posted.

so, based on explanation, i should expect to sail to Brisbane for my next base?

[Flotilla 2.UserPlayerUnitType 1]
ID= F2Sboat
NameDisplayable= S-18 class
AvailabilityInterval= NULL, 1942-04-15
IDLinkUserPlayerUnitType= S18
UnitTypeCommonality= 6
IDFlotillaLinkTransferTo= BrisbaneCommand

then i lose my boat 4/15?

[propbeanie]

I do not remember how they did the Flotillas in RFB, and I don't have it handy on this computer, but you might do a stint at Surabaya first... then maybe Fremantle or Albany, then Brisbane...
